Anyone have any experience with Deltagates on our cars?
I have one sitting around, and I can't run the stock W/G with the LT downpipe...so I'm looking for any information/experience you guys might have with these things.
Two things are bothering me...1st, is the Deltagate going to flow enough with the larger turbo? 2nd is placement of the W/G...I have seen a lot of people tying the external gates into the crossover, but I don't like the idea of having to crawl under the car to adjust boost all the time (much less running boost lines that far). My idea is to plumb the W/G into the base of the up-pipe, just above the header flange and behind the AC compressor, and just dump it to atmosphere (not concerned with the noise). I'm a little concerned about what that will do to O2 readings though, being so close to the sensor.
Any thoughts?
My goals: I'm only looking to run around 8-10 psi or so on pump gas until I get the thing tuned...eventually adding alky and upping the boost to settle at upwards of 20 in the end.
